Seriously? Did I read that right? Am I on Earth?
I linked to the press release on this blog which everyone knows is authored by me. That press release is on the website of smith-green.com which might possibly be my firm's website. And my office refers them to the press release's URL when they call. And that is not confirming its authenticity? It's Journalism 101. At least the way it was taught since something called the Internet was invented.
I've always said I love the Messenger. Through the years, they have served a valued service to this county. But if they refuse to report news because it's on a blog they somehow view as threatening to its existence, it is turning it's back to it's mission: To distribute information to the public.
For years I've considered hiring one photographer, one reporter, and one salesperson. And I know who I'd choose. Don't tempt me.
Edit: The Star-Telegram's Bud Kennedy didn't think much of the Messenger's explanation.
